SPECIAL CALLED MEETING
January 31 , 1985
7:30 PM
The meeting was called to order at 7:15 PM by Mayor-Commissioner William
S. Howell . Commissioners present included Robert B. Cook, Sr. , William
I. Gulliford, Jr. , and John W. Morris, Jr. Catherine Van Ness was
excused due to illness. Also present was Richard C. Fellows, City
Manager, and Claude L. Mullis, City Attorney.
The Mayor announced there were two items of business to consider, the
first of which was the award of a contract for repair and repainting of
the elevated steel water storage tank. City Manager Fellows reported
the bids had been tabulated and reviewed by consulting engineers Robert
Bates E Associates who had determined that all bids conformed to the
specifications. A background check was done on the low bidder, Ridge
Sandblasting & Painting Company of Lake Alfred, and it was determined
they had just concluded similar type work in Daytona Beach and were
under a regular maintenance contract with the City of Vero Beach, and in
both instances the company received excellent reports.
There being no further discussion, motion was made by Commissioner Cook,
seconded by Commissioner Gulliford, that a contract be awarded to the
low bidder, Ridge Sandblasting & Painting Company, Inc. , Lake Alfred,
Florida, and the funds to pay for same be taken out of the proposed
funds which would ordinarily be transferred from the Water Division to
the General Fund. There being no further discussion, the motion carried
unanimously.
The Mayor then announced the second item on the agenda was discussion of
water and sewer utilities and presented Mr. Jerry Strayve, President of
Buccaneer Service Company, Inc. , a private company operating a public
water and wastewater utility at 902 Assisi Lane adjacent to Atlantic
Beach.
Mr. Strayve appeared before the Commission and gave a brief historical
and chronological overview of the establishment of Buccaneer Service
Company and then proceeded to offer to the City of Atlantic Beach the
opportunity of purchasing the utility. Mr. Strayve then summarized the
benefits to the City of immediate income, municipal ownership, reduced
rates to new customers, overall enhanced total system reliability,
economy of scale of operations, the additional advantages of tax and
regulatory costs deleted.
Discussion ensued with a number of questions being asked by members of
the Commission as to exactly why the principals of Buccaneer Service
Company wanted to sell the utility and Mr. Strayve explained that the
group formed to operate the utility originally started out in order to
develop utility service to a tract of land owned by the principals for
which no utility service was available. Citizen Strayve then pointed
out to the Commission they had sold the last acre of their developable
land and since they were not utility operators they had decided to
dispose of the utility and proceed on to other projects which might
involve land development.
Further discussion ensued with a number of questions being proferred by
Commissioners Gulliford and Morris.
Mr. Strayve also pointed out to the Commission and went on record to say
that Buccaneer Service Company was so confident of the figures which
they had submitted for review of the Commission that the principals of
the company were willing to pay all of the costs involved in a
performance audit by a certified public accountant of the City's
choosing and/or a complete engineering review by an engineering company
of the City's choosing. He reiterated the fact that all costs would be
paid by Buccaneer Service Company.
The price of the utility would be $3.9 million for which it was proposed
to offer City bonds payable solely from the revenues of the Buccaneer
utility. No utilities or taxes or property of the City would be pledged
for payment of the bonds.
There being no further discussion, Commissioner Gulliford moved the
Mayor appoint a committee to examine the proposal and report back to the
Commission. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Morris. There
being no further discussion, the motion was adopted unanimously.
Mayor Howell then appointed a committee to be composed of the Mayor,
City Manager, City Attorney, and Commissioner Gulliford.
There being no further business to come before the Commission, the
meeting was adjourned at 8:27 PM.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Richard C. Fellows, City Manager
SUBJECT: Bid Tabulations and Recommendations - Repair and
Repainting of Elevated Steel Water Storage Tank
Attached please find a certified copy of the bid tabulation for the
repair and repainting of the City's elevated water storage tank.
The bids have been reviewed by Robert Bates $ Associates, Inc. , and it
has been determined that all bids conform with the specifications.
A thorough check has been done on the low bidder, Ridge Sandblasting $
Painting Company, Inc. , Lake Alfred, FL. I have determined, in
conversations with Richard Dimbinski, Water and Wastewater Engineer for
the City of Daytona Beach, the firm recently completed the same type of
work on a 500,000 gallon elevated tank and did an excellent job. John
Tenike, Assistant Director of Water and Sewer for the City of Vero
Beach, also reports the firm is reputable and does excellent work and
they have them under a continuing contract. Accordingly, based on this
information and the recommendation of our engineers, we suggest the City
Commission award the bid to Ridge Sandblasting $ Painting Company, Inc. ,
of Lake Alfred, FL.
